I would likely use this only near the table in a small skillet to keep some things warm (e.g., naan). Seems like it would work for that purpose?

Yes, it should work fine for that purpose. I used it to heat up oils to make lip balm for a library program.

Probably perfect for that. This is a good piece of equipment. Simmers well and heats quickly.

I use this to keep a metal coffee carafe warm. Works fine. When needed, I will also use it to keep other things warm. I did not get it for the purpose of heating or cooking.

I use it to boil water for tea and it works very well. I would think it would heat a small pan or skillet equally as well.

In my opinion, although it is not ideal, you could use the container for soup BUT it is not insulated so it will not stay hot and you would feel the heat when holding the container.

I wouldn't suggest it. There is a small ridge on the bottom and this is a very large skillet! I would be afraid of dropping it and cracking the glass.

I used it to sit on sometimes. I don't think it is high enough to use around a table though.

It sure can. I use mine all the time for so many things. I have used it to put things on that I want to have ventilation all around to cook quicker and not lose my crisp crust due to steaming where the food hits the pan. I use it over a 1/2 bake rimmed sheet. I like it for things coated similar to a shake and bake pork chop, etc. keeping things warm in a warm oven after I have cooked it another way like fried chicken done in batches. I think you will really like it. My only regret is that I didn't get 2 earlier.

I wouldn't use it at the table, just due to the fact that meats and such splatter. The outside does get quite hotand would burn if touched.

I applied this to the inside of my devices. I would keep it away from anything of significant heat, but it should be fine for just that purpose

Provided that the surface is strong enough, yes. It is rather large so I would perhaps measure out the dimensions to make sure you like the look of it. But it doesn't seem to run hot or anything that would be of concern for setting on a table.

Yes, I think you could use it for dining as long (as the arms are lower than height of table). We use it for lounging around our fire pit. It's very basic, light weight. Kinda on the smaller side.

Personally, I would stick to using it for appetizer-type service (keeping dips, queso, sauce, etc. warm) for dipping in. The crocks are pretty small for cooking in, I think.

I'm guessing pretty well...it's fairly thin, so it heats up rather quickly and efficiently. The base is also of a normal side, so it shouldn't be too large for a hotplate.

We tried that. It has too much wasted heat surface, but will work. The whole skillet gets hot, not just the bottom. An iron plate, that is fairly even might work as well.

Yes. This was bought for the Fire Department to keep their food warm for their Monday night dinner, since they did not have a stove at the time, worked great. They still use it to keep food hot after they built a new fire station with a wonderful kitchen, just works great.

It's not that hot. If you were to touch it, it won't burn your hand. It's really only good close-by like underneath your desk. Even that doesn't really help. My purpose was to heat my legs and feet underneath my desk but if you don't put a blanket to contain the heat, you won't feel it until your feet is close by. It didn't really do what I hoped it did.

Haven't used it around heat. Sorry but I doubt it would be a good idea. Soldering might not be a good idea on top of this mat. (Just my 2 cents)

I see no problem with using this to warm a a coffee mug instead of a teapot ... I have on several occasions, but my primary use is as a teapot warmer.

I have not used it in this way but I think it would work. I have had good results keeping plates with food on them warm.
